Yá’át’ééh (Hello!)
Welcome to Real Native Roots: Untold Stories—a podcast rooted in the power and medicine of storytelling. I’m Vickie Oldman, a proud Diné woman, and your host on this journey through the lived experiences of our relatives—family, friends, and colleagues—whose stories carry the wisdom, humor, and truth that often go untold.
In our Native ways, stories are more than words—they are teachers, time travelers, and truth holders. They carry our values, our resilience, and our dreams. Each episode, we’ll sit with remarkable guests to uncover the lessons, memories, and moments that shaped them—and the medicine they carry for all of us.
So, I invite you to walk this path with me. Listen deeply. Laugh, reflect, and reconnect. Follow and subscribe as we share the voices of our people—voices that deserve to be heard and honored.
Come along—there’s a story waiting for you. 🌿🎙✨

Harleys, Canoes & Jingle Dresses: A Journey to Freedom
In this powerful and intimate episode of Real Native Roots: Untold Stories, Vickie sits with Ojibwe leader, culture-bearer, and newly appointed President & CEO of First Peoples Fund, Tina Kuckkahn.
Together, they explore the teachings that shaped her: her grandparents’ wisdom, the Seven Teachings, the prayerful reminder of “tobacco first,” and the deep spiritual ties to land, water, and ancestry.
Tina shares the story of the Seventh Fire Jiimaan (Canoe) Journey, a multi-year effort to retrace the Anishinaabe migration by water—a journey of courage, prophecy, relational leadership, and reconnection.
They speak about motherhood, ceremony, free will, and navigating life with faith.
And, in true auntie fashion, Tina brings joy and humor as she talks about rediscovering freedom on her Harley and remembering the dreams we sometimes defer.
This conversation is medicine—gentle, wise, grounded—and an invitation to listen inward, honor your place, and walk your path with intention.
